    13 Resolutions Every Parent Should Make for 2013

    Something about the change from December to January fills my heart with emotions - such anticipation and excitement! In 2013, my goal is to spend more time enjoying the gifts that I have been blessed with while I have them. I am making some resolutions and writing them on paper and in my heart. I will do my best to reach them while at the same time realizing that if I fall a little short, it's okay. Come this time 2014, I want to look back and smile knowing that even though things didn't go as planned all the time, I didn't just "exist" in 2013 -- I lived and I loved. - By Krishann Briscoe

      Take More Candid Photos with My Children
      I am guilty of allowing the fact that I am self-conscious to prevent me from taking photos with my children. My husband teases me and says that I always have the same pose. Not every photo needs a do-over. My husband calls it the "natural" shot; you know, the one where my face is scrunched up and my eyes look kooky because I was in the middle of a sentence, the ones that I find so ... more

      I am guilty of allowing the fact that I am self-conscious to prevent me from taking photos with my children. My husband teases me and says that I always have the same pose. Not every photo needs a do-over. My husband calls it the "natural" shot; you know, the one where my face is scrunched up and my eyes look kooky because I was in the middle of a sentence, the ones that I find so unflattering. These are photos that capture moments and tell a story about our lives, a story that wasn't filled with perfection but thankfully filled with love. So much love - and some kookiness too.
